Although she would later singlehandedly create a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbookMastering the Art of French Cookingand her television showThe French Chef, Julia Child was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julias unforgettable storystruggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year long marriage that took the Childs across the globeunfolds with the spirit so key to Julias success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of Americas most endearing personalities.
